La religieuse

Maybe not the most unpredictable and finest plot. However the movie is characterised by a truly scary atmosphere. The background music evokes awe and the jump scares keep the audience in constant alertness. For me it comes up to the standards of a good Horror movie.

Was there a plot? Nun Were there any scares? Nun Any good acting? Nun Any reason to go see this movie? Nun

Let's begin with saying that the movie is definitely still worth the time to see. As there are a few moments where The Nun is portrayed in such a way that you do feel how great and powerful it is, and the music during these scenes (trust me, you will recognise them when you see them) is incredible. You'll feel hopeless, just as the characters at that time, but unfortunately these moments are scarce.

As human being, we find darkness scary, we hate it because we cannot see properly and thus find ourselves in the unknown. This is what drives a good horror movie, it is why the first Paranormal Activity was such a success for example. The horror of things happening, but not knowing what it is or where it is. The Nun fails to deliver this horror of the unknown. As we, in almost all scenes, see what it is that should terrify us, in great and gory detail. And while I love a tip of the hat to a more old school type of horror (more gore and monstrous feelings), I do not like how The Nun delivers it.

The amount of times we see a close up of the face of the nun is insane, and takes away the fear that this character had left us in during the Conjuring movies. It was the lack of screentime and the darkness surrounding this character that made her so extremely scary and interesting in those movies. It reminded me of the Devil's face in the original Exorcist movie. We don't see it often, but when we see it it terrifies us, because we cannot quite tell all the characteristics of its face, and it is always surrounded by darkness. The Nun is blatantly obvious, and her screaming in the camera makes it feel more like you're watching The Mummy, than The Nun.

Then there's the writing, the addition of comic relief is a good idea, but the timing is always off and rarely funny. The storyline is a bit basic, a gateway to hell, again, a demon needs a body, again, our past haunts us, again; it delivers nothing we haven't seen already. And I don't mind that, but then at least deliver it with tenacity. The jump scares feel as though they know that the audience knows its coming, so they just try to come at you from a different position than you expect: e.g., camera does a full 360, we expect something to happen, it doesn't and then something drops from above.

No, the movie disappoints. The story is basic, the timing of humor is laughable and the excessive amount of screentime - for that which petrified us with hardly any in the Conjuring movies - makes the Nun into something we hoped it wouldn't be. And unfortunately the great scenery, actually horrifying scenes and amazing soundtrack just can't lift this movie beyond 'just another horror movie'.

This film is OBVIOUSLY missing the James Wan touch that we loved in the conjuring universe films. Even when Wan used jump scares , it worked bc the atmosphere was tense and creepy . In "The Nun" they're overly planted everywhere in the movie to make up for the fact that the director couldn't keep the audience captivated any other way.

The plot is basic to say the least, it's almost like they just threw it together in 5 minutes to make up a back story for The Nun. The film had so much potential to give the audience a interesting creepy back story to one of the conjuring's iconic villains. Instead we're saturated with filler for the 1st and 2nd act , and FINALLY get something going on the final act . Up until then it's nothing but jump scare city . So if that's up your alley for horror movies then you'll love this . I personally think the brief amount of time The Nun was in the Conjuring 2 was 100000x better than this full length film.

They also tried to go with this new trend of adding some comedy into a horror film and it's just badly placed and awkward . The acting is okay . Taissa Farmiga & Demien Bichir are the main characters and give pretty good performances.

Anyway, Overall this movie could've gone straight to DVD or Netflix . Don't think it deserved to hit the big screen if it wasn't going to be directed by Wan . There's some creepy/scary enjoyable moments but overall it's very cliche and downright boring at times. Watch when you're at home on a rainy day with nothing do. Don't waste ur money like i did

The greatest evil in The Conjuring Universe !. Confess your sins !. Witness the Darkest Chapter in The Conjuring Universe !. Pray For Forgiveness !. She Doesn't Forgive !. Witness the Darkest Chapter in The Conjuring Universe !.

Terror film that shows the chilling origins of the possessed nun Valak, who became known in 'Warren file: Enfield case'. Prequel/Spin of the Warren File franchise, stars Demián Bichir and Taissa Farmiga, also makes a brief appearance in the epilogue of the Patrick Wilson film and Vera Farmiga, portraying their characters from the original series. It displays relentless chiller , intrigue , shocks, hard-edged drama , plot twists , creepy images and some gore when crimes takes place. This hit 'The Nun' in which the scream queen Tessa Farmiga puts on the habit to kill the chilling demon Valak, she plays a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows sent by the Vatican to investigate. Here Taissa Farmiga and Demian Bichir confront the very thing that haunts their dreams and forever links them together in hushed silence. They battle a malevolent force in the form of the same demonic nun (Bonnie Aaarons) that first terrorized audiences in 'The Conjuring 2,' as the convent becomes a horrific battleground between the living and the damned.

This frightening movie is plenty of thrills , screams , gore, eerie scenes, high body-count and lurid images with lots of eerie scenes, blood and gore. This worldwide smash hit follows Sister Irene who comes face-to-face with Valak, the demon nun. It is an usual horror movie where the intrigue , tension , suspense appear threatening and lurking in every room , corridors , church and convent, including some chilling frames. The main protagonists are Demian Bichir, Tessa Farmiga (Nun I, Mula, The twilight Zone) giving good performances as the priest with dark past and the brave nun who helps him. And Bonnie Aarons and Jonas Bloquet installment as Valak and Frenchie respectively. Special effects are pretty well but there are several scenes without much sense and the main and secondary interpretations are acceptable. Interesting premise about a heinous nun is partially wasted but it has its moments here and there.

It containg a tense and suspenseful musical score by Abel Korzeniowski , an expert on terror movies and dark atmosphere. As well as a somber and gloomy cinematography by cameraman Maxime Alexandre. Shooting took place at the Corvin Castle in Hunedoara, and in Sighisoara, Transylvania, Romania, and also at Mogosoaia Palace, near Bucharest, Romania. This spooky movie was efficiently directed Corin Hardy (The Hallow, Gangs of London) in her second feature film.

Followed by ¨The Nun II¨by Michael Chaves, set in 1956 in Tarancon (France) four years after the demonic events of 1952, Father Noiret burns to death in the air. Valek's demon has died and Sister Irene, who now serves in a convent in Italy, must once again face this evil to return him to hell. Stars Irene (Tessa Farmiga), Debra (Storm Reid), the teacher Kate (Anna Popplewell); on the other hand, repeat in this second entry Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet) and The Nun (Bonnie Aarons) . While Valak often tormenting students with her own brand of extreme religious zealotry, this nightmarish nun was deathly strict with her code of ethics.

James Wan goes to production this time and is also co-author of the story on which the script is based together with the screenwriter Gary Dauberman: Annabelle Comes Home, Anabelle: creation. The saga Warren marriage : Patrick Wilson/Vera Farmiga is formed as follows : The Conjuring (2013) by James Wan , The Conjuring 2 (2016) by James Wan and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) by Michael Chaves . Rating : 6/10 . Acceptable and passable film that will appeal to horror lovers.
